The Washoe County School District Intervention Department's mission is to work in partnership with students, families, schools, and community agencies to ensure the success of all students by helping to identify and remove barriers that cause chronic absenteeism, and build resiliency with children and families.

The Intervention Department is comprised of the following programs:

• Children in Transition: services for students and families who are identified as homeless, and for children in foster care
• Family Resource Centers: resources and services for children, parents and senior citizens in the community
• Re-engagement Program: services for students who dropped from school prematurely or who are not enrolled in school
• Truancy Intervention: services for students who are truant or at risk of becoming habitually truant
• Student Attendance Review Board (SARB) and Elementary Student Attendance Review Board (ESARB): two interdisciplinary teams comprised of school district, external agency, and community member representatives that aim to assist students experiencing chronic absenteeism and truancy with resources toward improving school attendance.
